“The Internet Archive is now back online in a “provisional, read-only manner,” according to founder Brewster Kahle.”
A breach and DDoS attacks took the Archive offline on October 9th, and an authentication database with 31 million unique records was stolen. You can search 916 billion archived pages again, but you cannot save a new one. Google started linking to the Wayback Machine weeks ago, after removing its own cached pages earlier this year. The web’s memory runs on one nonprofit’s servers, and they just went dark for days.
